Overview
Somersault is a five-day summer camp of music, adventure & outdoor living in the heart of the South West, located at the beautiful Castle Hill estate just half an hour from both the North Devon coast and Exmoor.
The world class Jack Johnson and Devon's very own Ben Howard will headline, with Somersault being Jack Johnson's only UK festival performance in 2014. A stellar support line up including more world-renowned artists will be announced very soon.
Somersault is not just another music festival. It will offer every ounce of what a summer holiday was once about, from under-canvas encampments of crafts and culture to fun-fuelled feasts and fireside festivities by night. Campers can enjoy surf trips to nearby Woolacombe, as well as trying their hands at handplaning, coasteering, wind surfing, kite surfing, sailing, canoeing and paddleboarding. Back on dry land, activities include horse riding, trekking, moor running and mountain biking on nearby Exmoor, plus falconry, archery, yoga, circus skills and more.
A 2014 UK festival exclusive, Jack Johnson, the musician, surfer and environmental/social campaigner ' whose six studio albums and two live albums have sold over 20 million copies worldwide is Somersault's first patron. Johnson, who has always redirected the spotlight onto issues important to him (including the Kokua Hawaii Foundation,Johnson Ohana Charitable Foundation and 1% for the Planet), will continue to collaborate with hand chosen community groups worldwide to support sustainable local food systems and plastic free initiatives through his All At Once campaign.
Jack Johnson said 'I love the UK. I love surfing. So playing a show in the South West is the perfect situation. Somersault sounds like the perfect festival'
